What this is
A property owner at the southwest corner of W. Campbell Road and Custer Road is requesting a 5-foot reduction in the required separation distance between the side of a non-residential building and an adjacent residential district. The property is located at 501 W. Campbell Road.
Why it matters
Approving the variance would allow the non-residential building to sit closer to a neighboring residential area than the zoning code currently allows.
